Things that Eric A. Meyer, CSS expert, writes about on his personal Web site; it's largely Web standards and Web technology, but also various bits of culture, politics, personal observations, and other miscellaneous stuffFri, 09 Dec 2016 04:21:04 +0000hourly1By: Timhttp://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2013/02/13/presto-change-o/#comment-1217922

While Opera never simply became my go-to browser, I did use it, and was glad for the alternative. With its adoption of Webkit, a lot of its point seems lost, as I never really bought into the other ways Opera was unique.

Me, I’m a little sad to see “the fourth choice” do a disappearing act.
Back in the day, when there was no other browser supporting a CSS standard strictly to spec, the Norwegian one would, and that was good.
To everything a season, I suppose.

I’ve been an avid Opera user for 12 years or so, I really don’t know whether I should be glad, bitter, or not care at all.

If we’re lucky and there aren’t too many proprietary ties (or rushed code) in Presto we may as well notice Opera giving back more than open source could ever hope for.

Let the feature war begin.
